FLETCHER'S _Introductory History of England_, 4 vols. (Murray), both eminently readable in very different styles, illustrate the diverse methods of treatment to which English history lends itself. More elaborate surveys are provided by LONGMANS' _Political History of England_, 12 vols. (edited by W. Hunt and R. L. Poole), and METHUEN'S _History of England_, 7 vols. (edited by C. Oman). The student of Constitutional History should begin with F. W. MAITLAND'S _Lectures on Constitutional History_ (Cambridge University Press), and for a compendium of facts may use Medley's _Constitutional History of England_ (Blackwell).
